I got my Yorkie the day Mocha died and I haven't put a collar or harness on her since reading your post. She is tiny so she has to be in her pen a lot and after your accident I am going to be extra cautious. I just want you to know that I (and probably others) learned through your loss and sharing your story with others will save lives.
I also read that you are questioning whether you will own another Yorkie. That is certainly a private decision but I hope you don't base it on what happened. Yorkies are not very independent compared to other dogs but that is part of what makes them so loveable.
Just don't deny yourself the joy you describe when you held that dog in the park. I have owned many dogs but nothing is like this experience.
Best wishes and continued healing to you. |
